This is Part 1 of my conversation with Giulia. Since the recording of this episode, Giulia has won her 5th consecutive Ladies Italy Production Optics National Championship. She won Gold at the 2022 Handgun World Shoot with the Ladies Team in Production Optics. In 7 short years, she’s a very accomplished shooter.

Season 3, Episode 94: Practical Shooting Live

In this episode, Jay Slater, Max Leograndis and Kirt McKenna join me in discussing super squad relevancy and assignment. Does it matter? Is there competitive inequity? Who should be on the super squad? Max also gives us some insight as to what he’s thinking about as to determining a PCSL National Champion. He’s considering making circuits great again. But, he is also looking for some feedback. Enjoy!

We talk about her trials and tribulations at the 2024 IPSC Nationals, as well as the 2024 Carry Optics Nationals, and her win at the 2024 Handgun Nationals in Limited Optics. Unfortunately, there was some type of snafu with the recording software. The podcast will end abruptly even though we continued talking for another 15 minutes. I am working with the company to try and determine what happened. Enjoy!!...

My guest this week, hails from Colorado. She’s a competitive shooter that has been in the game for 2 years and is already A class and was 4th in Ladies Limited Optics at Handgun Nationals.

That book/movie is called Sarah’s Key. Enjoy!! https://www.instagram.com/brennahgaston/...

Season 3, Episode 83: Christina Baker, Part 2

Here is the conclusion of my conversation with Christina. There has been some information posted that receiving IV therapy at matches is a bad thing and performance enhancing. I like to think that we debunk that pretty well here. Christina, being a former ER Nurse, and me, having started somewhere in the vicinity of 5-7k IVs in a 9-1-1 system, have the training and enough first-hand experience to set the record straight. This one won’t be well received by the naysayers. https://www.instagram.com...
